Shortcodes should always be on their own lines. The title tags also need to be within the one_fourth code or the layout will break and be full width (as yours is now). Use this code as a template for your homepage with 4 columns:

The 4 mainpage columns below the frontpage slider can be populated either via posts of specific post categories, pages [strong]or widgets[/strong]. (hmmmmm it seems BB Code for bold/strong doesn’t work as it says below.)

==============

And since there are 4 Column Main Page widget areas . . . .

I was loading a blank TEXT Widget into the Column 1 widget, then loading the [one_fourth] code into that text widget.

. . . then of course loading each successive column content with the [one_fourth] code into a text widget I loaded into each successive Main Page Column widget area.

There is no HTML tag on the widgets that I can find. Was I supposed to be loading the [one_fourth] codes all into a page that gets pulled into the main page using the page editor in HTML mode?

I must have missed that some how if I should have been loading them into a page that gets php called into the main page.

So I finally got around to seeing how bad the validation is on the way I have the columns with the proprietary (Standard) HTML tables code above. NNNNANT! Won’t validate (of course).

So is Kriesi going to update the php and css for this theme so it works as advertised and explained in the documentation so people that want to have their content display similar to mine http;//www.menifeebodyshop.com – without having to hope they find this post or the original post you referred me to above James?

. . . BUT I just want photos without the “Read More” button – More like a photo album . . . should I be using an Album/Gallery type plugin for something like that instead of the built in Portfolio feature?

It does appear that if you want your images to appear in a specific order that you must load them last to first for them to show first to last because the default sort order is by “Date” instead of “Name”.

Is there a way to change that? Like change the default sort order to be “Name” so you can number all your images and have the show up the way you want them to?

As it is with the sort order by “Date” as the default, if you are adding images, say of a piece of work from beginning to completion, the more complete work pictures end up at the top instead of the bottom. That is unless there is a way to change the date sort order from descending to ascending. Is that possible. Seems like a more logical way for it to work to me. But maybe that’s just me. And maybe the java script can’t work any other way.

If you have any ideas before I do all this last entered first shown work, I’d reeeeeeeeeeally appreciate it.

hmmmmmm …… had another question but it escapes me now. I’ll be back when my brain is working again.

The picture on the right was loaded first. The middle picture is from the second category. So I guess it sort order is by date all portfolio items need to be put in for one category at a time. Right? hmmmm but wait a minute. There has to be at least 2 categories with one image each for anything to show on the portfolio page? Or maybe that is there just has to be 2 categories and you can fill up one and then the other. Yeeeeesh. I better go back and read the documentation yet once again :)
